For the CCCB, this event marks a line of research into new ways of experiencing exhibition spaces. From immersive theatre to multiscreen or 360º audiovisual installations and virtual reality environments, many artists are working with a new logic that has profound repercussions for the classic relation between spectator and works, with contemplation and the predominance of sight giving way to immersion in the form of multisensorial, performative experiences.
